Phone call received today, Dal is to go in tomorrow for the pre- assessment and have the Biopsy on Saturday ,, so all happening this week rather than next, which obviously means we should get the results quicker too.
Dal does seem to be bruising easier from small knocks, something to keep an eye on, but overall, he continues to do well.
